YHC and Offshore just drove… ??‍♂️ We started with a pretty standard COP where the Q was on his soapbox about something inconsequential and got called out. it was funny. Then we moseyed to the fields past the new basketball court thats being built and started on a suicide ladder with added exercises starting with 10, then 20, 30/40… it was too far and gruesome next we did a football field sized 4 corners where the…

It was either the first road race, or the first of this distance for each of the PAX, but they turned in some monster performances. Some ran 16.19k and some ran 6.19 mi. Those who ran the 6.19 mi were hungry for more and several who ran the 16.29k wondered whether they could have pushed harder at the beginning… studs. Future FNG Jose torched the 10 mile course to place 18th overall (or was it 3rd?!). The PAX were pumped about their running experience and appeared to have even more fun welcoming strangers along with the remaining PAX at the…
